Oh.. okay! haha.. I was very confused and thanks for the explanation. I appreciate for the offer, but one of the more appealing aspects is getting more experience managing a FTB server. I've been working with computers since the early 80's, so I tend to gravitate to the technical aspects of running my own stuff. BTW, I'm now interested in checking your TWICH channel out. :)

lol sorry for being so vage, what I meant was that you are welcome to come on mine, most of the people are very mature,I have a strict age limit on my server, the main reason I had set it up was to have people come on and build and such but now its grown to where I am going to try and keep this server as long as I can make charity streams on twitch and such.

Good luck on paying that little. We have a dedicated machine and we still run into lag. You'd have to keep it very small.
Hmmm.. something to think about. I've spoken with others and we think we'll limit the community to 10. Thanks for your input. I'll definitely keep it in mind.

yeah but its just the thing though, even with a few players on and such, there is nothing out there that can stabilize a server with no lag at all and with at least like 50 players, and the person who had said this was slow himself. He has not found anything in order to prevent any lag, your always going to run into that situation

We run with about 5 - 8 people and we are generally lag free unless someone is tooling around in the Twilight loading new chunks. Otherwise, we lag a lot less than most servers, definitely less than the actual Mindcrack FTB server, but sometimes it just happens. Lately it has been network latency due to a bad node right outside out host. We have also added Mystcraft to the game. Lag can be mitigated, but you have a spend a whole lot more money than $20 a month to do so.

We have a 16 player limit on our server and since everyone knows that spewing entities and sucking the nether dry is bad we have no issues at all. And we only have to pay something around 16E per month.

Hi Carl,

I'd be interested in a more mature server. I run a FTB server for my daughter and a group of her friends who are homeschooled as she is. They range in age 8-15. While I love playing with the kids, I need some adult time too! I'm 40+ too. ;) I use "The Minecraft Host" and they have been reasonable price wise and service wise. Our server generally has 7-10 players on and we only experience lag when someone is generating Twilight Forest or Mystcraft ages. Myst is the more problematic of the two. But otherwise I've been happy with this host and their pricing. If you do decide to start a FTB server for mature players/parents of Minecrafting kids please send me a PM, I'd be into joining.

Cheers,
MotherMC

I'd be interested in something like this as well. I'm 39, and have been playing with my son and his friends on a DW20 server. I'm looking for something with a community of adults who are willing to work together. The kids I have been playing with aren't interested in building and figuring out how to do things. They just want gravity guns and jet packs. :) I've been using Envious Host and they seem pretty good, I've been getting some pretty heavy lag lately and I think it might be due to the IC2 issues that DW 5.01 introduced. If you are still looking to start up and Adult (mature) server, let me know. I'd certainly be interested.

I would be interested as well. Also, in my opinion paying something like 5$/month to play on a stable, lag free adult only Server does sound pretty tempting to me.
As I work 9 hrs a day and have a so called RealLife i dont have much time to play, and like TomT said my goal is not to get Portal Guns and Jetpacks and just fly around and raid all the Nether Ores and Twighlight Forest on Day 2 or 3. And this is what frequently happens on "young" servers.
I usually play only around 6 hours a week, well thats the time many students and childs play per day -.-

Long Story short: I would love to participate, im rather willing to pay a few Bucks a month than playing on a laggy server, so hook me up if you plan to start up ;)

PS: I prefer the Mindcrack Pack over DW20, also i assume that without mystcraft the game would be less laggy plus the Dense Ore Ages feel like cheating all the Time...

Cheers

I am interested for me and my son. I have been considering starting a small server like this for that reason. I am looking for a place that will be family friendly, clean language, no dirty talk type of place. Is that what you are thinking, if so I am in!!

I might have got you or the thread autor wrong but in my opinion its not about a family friendly server where the adults can play together with the kids, but a server just for the adults, without the younger generation.

I laughed pretty hard at your two comments because you both pretty much nailed my kids and how they play to the Tee! What's funny is how all of them made jet packs and had no way to fuel them. :rolleyes: But you both expressed much of how I feel. I'm not in a race to loot every chest in Twilight first, find all the villages & temples to pillage for myself and go horde diamonds. I'd like to get with other adults who are interested in building a community; farms, factories and all the goodies that these mods make possible. I too could care less about gravity guns! ;) I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what you can do in these mods and when I watch what Direwolf and his friends do on his server it makes me wish I played with a group like that where I could learn more, build bigger and not be worried about who's looking in my chest and are they going to steal stuff. I don't care if it's Direwolf of Mindcrack, I've played and enjoy both. I'm really looking for some adult gaming friends who share my passion for FTB and who'd like to see how far we can take a new world. I'd also have no problem chipping in $5-10 month to quality, lag free hosting. While I do enjoy the time I play with my kids, I'm interested in some time where I don't have to be mommy & teacher. Look forward to the possibility of playing with you all. :D

I would also have no problem paying a few bucks a month to hangout with mature players.

I'm paying much for than that now for my server, I'd be certainly willing to pay $5 to $10 a month as well.

GammelFrog: I don't care about having a dense ores age. I just hate to see huge holes in the landscape. I usually make a stable "flat" age for mining, no dense ores, just regular spawns, with something like Crystals for portals, and gouge big holes into it instead of messing with the spawn areas on the main world. Dense ores always feels like cheating to me as well.

While Gregtech can be a pain, that is also the upside to the mod. Well that how I see it anyways. I personally enjoy the struggle and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with Gregtech. Say your favorite sports team is a middle of the road kind of team. You play the worst team and beat the crap out of them. You win but whatever. Play the undefeated juggernaut team and win by a point. That feels much better. Anyhow that’s my pro Gregtech speech. I think that you can also configure it to be less punishing or have a middle ground. So that is an idea.

I have not been playing Minecraft long and a modded Minecraft even less. One thing that I learned about playing in a modded game is things change. So I don’t get too attached to things in the game. You can always rebuild and most time do a better job at it the next go around. So I will not be all upset when or if the map need to be reset. Who know what the ultimate pack holds?

Anyhow it’s late and I am tired. Hope this post makes some kind of sense. Oh and one last thing. I like how your thinking about the community.

I would say Server owners would LOVE GT... It makes the players
A) work harder for armor and that away they don't have UUM first day
B) it makes the players play longer thus making the $ worth it

Hi I was just wondering if this server got off the ground? I'm 29 yr old mum looking for a decent ftb server I can play on and this sounds like it might fit the bill!

Doesn't seem to have gotten off the ground, at least not via the original poster. :(

I have just started a new FTB Direwolf 20 1.5 server, and i am running this server for adults only, if anyone is interested in joining please let me know. I also have limited play time do to work and other commitment, so if people is just in playing 1 hour a week that is okay for me.
The server is whitelisted and uses ip: 79.160.191.163:34297
